Alonso, fresh from signing a new long-term deal with the club, was then handed a mobile phone by one of the club's media staff and duly took a selfie with forgotten man Danny Drinkwater.

Lucas Piazon, who has also yet to feature under Sarri, came out laughing and joking alongside Jorginho, while David Luiz, Willian, Emerson Palmieri and Antonio Rudiger were the last to appear.

Upon joining up with all the coaching staff, what was noticeable was that every single Chelsea player shook hands with Sarri ahead of training.

Eden Hazard was absent from the session with his teammates due to his back injury, with Ethan Ampadu later spotted on a separate pitch at the front of the training complex with a member of staff stepping up his recovery from a knee injury.

Now with all the team ready to get down to business, Carlo Cudicini called them all over to take part in a rondo to get the session started.

Clearly enjoying themselves as they tried to keep the ball away from three players in the middle and make 20 passes, the whole team were then left in hysterics as Drinkwater took a blow to the head.

With Alonso given a bad pass by one of his teammates, the left-back then headed the ball towards to an oblivious Drinkwater who took the ball right on his head.

The left-back was then involved moments later as he forget to take an extra touch after Cudicini had switched the rules of the game to two touches.

Cesc Fabregas found it rather amusing and shouted something at his fellow compatriot in Spanish, although he probably wished he hadn't as he found himself in the middle minutes later after uncharacteristically losing the ball.

As bad as it was from the ex-Arsenal man, it was nothing compared to Emerson.

Given a simple pass from Pedro, the ball went under the January signing's foot which left Jorginho in stitches.

As the ex-Roma man could well replace Alonso in the team against BATE, he will be hoping his first touch is better than that as he bids to impress his new boss.

Clearly loving life under Sarri at present, the Blues look in confident mood ahead of their third European game of the season.
